WHAT TO WEAR.-What are the new
fall and winter styles is what interests
every lady and when she wants to buy a
new dress or wrap she wants the latest
and newest thing out. We have made
this study aud'have taken great pains
in selecting nothing but the newest and
best styles of dress goods and trimming.
We mention first in plain dress goods,
the all wool Henriettas. These are
very soft smooth finish with rich lustre
shades. Heliotrope, navy, myrtle, and
new brown. Next is French serge in
plain colors, new brown, Terra-cotta,
Myrtle, Bronze, Heliotro pc, Navy. An
other very desirable style is the plated
mixtures for all colors for street wear.
Plain and mixed Tricots Of course will
still be worn. In trimmings we have
every thing in braid and bead sets for
waist and Jannel, Fdrs, Stripes and
plain Velvets and Plush, Braids of all
STYLES. In fact we have so many differ

DON'T DO Recently an enter
prising solicitor of patent double
decked, thimble rugged advertising
scheme, visited Martinsburg. and by
the artful dodge of winning the mind
through flattery of the individual and
the placing of picture of the advertiser
in the book and the delivery of a half
dozen copies for grdtuitous distribution
to your friends, don't you know? obtain
ed quite number of advertisements and
many dollars were carted out of
the community. This thing of
publishing your picture is taking
scheme, but as general rule very
unpraiseworthy thing to permit. Your
friends know you and see you, d public
exposition of personal vanity is only evil
dence OF self adulation and conceit.
Don't do it.
